Re: Connecting 7.2V (directly) to camera
Not sure if we installed the VISA app on there - someone else installed LabView. And I didn't change the serial port. It was on COM1 the whole time which is my only serial port.

And I'm not sure whether or not plugging in the 7.2V hurts the camera or not. I noticed one of the chips (the relatively large square one on the left-bottom corner of the board) was getting a little hot. Is this normal? I was thinking that the hot chip may be a symptom of feeding it too much voltage, or maybe it just gets hot.
